I took a long walk yesterday. Made a conscious effort to seek out honey bees -- nothing . . . well, I did see one bee flying -- I don't think it was a honey bee. He/she was in bad shape.
That was it. I even passed a nursery. All their flowers were dead or on death's door.
Then I got to the court house. If any place was going to have bees around there flowers it'd be the courthouses monster flowers. There were no flowers. They had one flowering bush that, again, was on death's door.
I examined the flowers and saw two bee's either dead or barely alive inside the petals of a big blue flower.
What's going on here folks? And don't just say Colony Collapse Disorder and think you're smart. How serious of a problem is this?
What's with the media blackout? Too many "terrorists" out there?

up here in Canada, ontario, I have seen 4 bumblebees and two honeybees all year since spring. The numbers are certainly down. The bees I have seen did not look in good condition. Usually when the trees flower in spring the bees are out in large numbers, this year I didnt see one till after the bloom.
Something is definitely causing the bees to decline in numbers. It wouldn't be until it is too late before anyone 'official' does anything about it.

I see thousands of honey bees almost every day. Being in an agricultural state bee colonies are transported all around the state for crop pollination this time of year. It is true, and has been reported on the news around here that there are some parasite problems with bee keepers stock and many colonies have been lost.

spring is over. honey bees are much more active in spring when the flowers are blooming. they become much less active as the weather gets warmer and the spring flowers start to die off. this happens every year. I have roses that bloom all year long pretty much, so I see them every day.

I have seen many varieties of bees in my flowers and yard. Even been stung by a few.
I do not know a honeybee from a regular bee. And I haven't gotten an answer from them when I ask.
I believe this may be a serious problem, as it affects all of our agriculture. But I do not look to environmentalists to provide a solution, either.

Yep! Seen a few! This is just another scare-tactic from the drive-by media. You have too much free time on your hands.

Your fact "wood hive equipped by using a beekeeper" is an outline of what you're seeing on the caricature. the assumption is now previous however the barrel formed nest interior the caricature is what the early synthetic bee hives gave the effect of. It grew to become right into a woven basket form shape i've got faith. I even have on no account considered a sort of hives in use nevertheless and that i'm forty 9 years previous.
